A Dusting

Back to my favorite spot for photos in Quincy ... Blacks Creek.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Blue Ribbon

I like the way the water winds its way into the estuary on an incoming tide at Blacks Creek.

Stripers

These boats were captured while drying in the sun on the banks of Blacks Creek.  I like the colorful red stripes of the Recreation Department boats.  They are being readied for storage - a definite sign that summer is winding down.

A Winter Paddle

It was more then a delight to meet this kayaker at Blacks Creek yesterday. Joe knows how to make the most out of life. He said that kayaking gives him a sense of freedom and serenity beyond anything he could imagine. Joe took advantage of the unseasonable open waters yesterday, but a year ago the creek was frozen solid as you can see by clicking on the QDP post HERE.

Quincy is fortunate to have great recreational places like this one to enjoy year-round.

Grey Sky

Happy Skywatch Friday! As you can see from this photo taken at Blacks Creek . . . we're in a snow drought.

Twins

These two are standing tall against the prevailing winter winds at Blacks Creek. Happy Skywatch Friday!

Atlantic Flyway

We are in the midst of duck hunting season. Much to my surprise last week, I discovered a few avid hunters around my favorite haunt, Blacks Creek.

Happy Monochrome Monday!

The sailing program begins today at Blacks Creek.



I hope to be back posting regularly in September. I have switched computer platforms and find that I have a lot of things to learn anew before I will feel proficient enough to post daily.

Hint of Summer

Seeing these two boys poking around in Blacks Creek assures me that summer is on its way.

The reflection of clouds always amazes me. Happy Skywatch Friday everyone! Click HERE for other beautiful skies.

3 Birches

I like the shape and the light on these birches on the bank of the Blacks Creek estuary. It's Monochrome Monday! Have a great week everyone.

Under Control

With spring come brush fires in the marshes like this one in Blacks Creek, where the National Sailors' Home Cemetery is located. Sometimes the fires are left to burn and sometimes they extinguish themselves naturally.

Remnants Of Winter

Only a few patches of snow remain in the marshlands. The houses in the distance are located on Meadowbrook Road.
